Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 chocolate graham crackers (large rectangles), broken into large pieces
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup jarred salted caramel
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine
1/2 mini semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 24-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the butter and sugar, then pulse until well combined. Distribute the crumbs among the prepared cups, about 2 tablespoons in each, and press to firm them up.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Mix in the sugar and eggs. Add the vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the salted caramel and mix again. Distribute the batter among the muffin cups, about 3 tablespoons per cup. Tap the tin on the counter to distribute the batter evenly.
  • Bake, watching to make sure they don't burn, until set in the middle, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, then chill for 2 hours.
  • For the ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and set aside. Heat the cream in a saucepan until warm and bubbles begin to form around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the chocolate and allow to sit for 2 minutes. Mix until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon ganache on top of each cheesecake. Sprinkle the top with the pecan pieces and mini chocolate chips. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon caramel and freeze, uncovered, for 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Allow to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Chocolate Praline Cheesecake image

This is originally from the " Brennan's of Houston in Your Kitchen" cookbook.I made it over the weekend for a dinner with friends and it was WONDERFUL! Very dense and chocolately with a gooey caramel and toasted pecan layer- yum!It can be made a day ahead of time and prep time does not include chilling time.

Provided by Leslie in Texas

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
40 individually wrapped caramels (I used Kraft)
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, melted
sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
strawberry, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter and pat onto the bottom of a 10 inch springform pan; set aside.
  • Place unwrapped caramels and evaporated milk in a small microwaveable bowl and microwave at 50 percent power until melted or melt over simmering water on the stovetop.
  • Periodically stir until the caramels melt and blend with the milk.
  • When mixture begins to look like thick caramel and the milk is incorporated into the melted caramel, remove from heat.
  • Pour caramel on top of the reserved crust and immediately sprinkle with the toasted pecan pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition.
  • Add chocolate to mixture; blend until incorporated.
  • Pour mixture on top of caramel-pecan filling.
  • Set springform pan on an 18 inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil;crimp foil sides up to prevent any moisture from seeping into crust.
  • Place pan in a hot water bath- I use the broiler pan from my oven, place the springform pan in it and fill with hot water to the depth of the filling-and bake for 45 minutes, or until cheesecake is set in the center.
  • Cool cheesecake to room temperature, about 2 hours, before refrigerating.
  • Do not remove from springform pan until completely chilled, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Loosen cheesecake from sides of pan with a sharp knife, remove from pan sides, and slice with a sharp knife, dipping blade in warm water and wiping it off between slices.
  • Garnish each slice with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a strawberry.
  • You can also get really fancy and drizzle some chocolate sauce over the serving plates before setting the piece of cheesecake on the plate!

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PECAN BLONDIES



White Chocolate and Pecan Blondies image

Brown sugar and butter are what make blondies so incredibly addictive. Most times, they are made with chocolate chips and sometimes butterscotch chips, but when I tried them with white chocolate and toasted pecans, a new blondie was born. Give them a go and you'll see what I mean.

Provided by Gemma Stafford

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 9 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks/225 grams) salted butter, melted
2 cups (340 grams) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups (284 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups (9 ounces/ 255 grams) white chocolate chips
1 cup (142 grams) pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  • Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
  • Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour, salt, chocolate chips, and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle is just set. Don't be tempted to bake them for longer than that, or you won't get gooey centers. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.
